In order to successfully treat a heart attack or stroke, these conditions must be promptly diagnosed. Unfortunately, doctors all too often ignore the warning signs of a heart attack or stroke, or misdiagnose these conditions altogether — and patients end up suffering.
If you or a loved one has suffered a heart attack or stroke and your doctor misdiagnosed the condition, you may have a medical malpractice claim. At Clark Perdue, we can investigate your claim and help to determine if your doctor was negligent by failing to stop the progression of a heart attack or stroke.

Heart Attack Misdiagnosis
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Some of the warning signs of a heart attack are shortness of breath, chest tightness, pain in other parts of the body, and sweating.
Doctors often misdiagnose a heart attack for another disease or condition, especially when the patient doesn't fit the demographic of those most at-risk for suffering a heart attack. They may fail to administer proper tests that can determine if a heart attack is approaching. The timely diagnosis of a heart attack is critical. Immediate action must be taken to prevent a heart attack.
Stroke Misdiagnosis
Some of the most common warning signs of a stroke include dizziness, loss of balance, numbness or weakness on one side of the body, and blurred vision. If warning signs were ignored by a doctor, or if the condition was misdiagnosed and a stroke occurred, the patient may have a medical malpractice claim.
Not all strokes can be prevented. But all too often, a medical misdiagnosis makes it impossible to stop the progression of a stroke. Our firm can investigate your injury and determine if your health care provider was negligent in misdiagnosing the stroke. If so, we can seek compensation to cover the current and anticipated costs of dealing with the injury.
